Book Overview

Family ties prove deadly in the brilliant new Jesse Stone novel from "New York Times"-bestselling author Robert B. Parker. The body in the trunk was just the beginning. Turns out the stiff was a foot soldier for local tough guy Reggie Galen, now enjoying a comfortable "retirement" with his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in the nicest part of Paradise. Living next door are Knocko Moynihan and his wife, Robbie, who also happens to be Rebecca's twin. But what initially appears to be a low-level mob hit takes on new meaning when a high-ranking crime figure is found dead on Paradise Beach. Stressed by the case, his failed relationship with his ex-wife, and his ongoing battle with the bottle, Jesse needs something to keep him from spinning out of control. When private investigator Sunny Randall comes into town on a case, she asks for Jesse's help. As their professional and personal relationships become intertwined, both Jesse and Sunny realize that they have much in common with both their victims and their suspects-and with each other."

Pure Parker

We'll never know how Robert B. Parker intended to carry through in the continuing development of the Jesse Stone-Sunny Randall relationship, but at least we have this novel which, at the very least, holds out the promise they each can address their psychological roadblocks: Jesse's lingering love for his ex-wife and Sonny's prolonged infatuation with her former husband. But more important, Parker wrote another fine mystery...

Split Image

Robert B. Parker is another of my favorite writers. I have read all of his books. I am sad that he died recently, and this is probably the last of his books. It was an enjoyable read. I love Jesse Stone and was glad he gave up on his exwife Jen.

Fascinating Conflicts and Resolutions

"He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out." -- Isaiah 48:21 I held off starting this book until I had absorbed and become accustomed to the news of Robert B. Parker's passing. Rather than anticipating that there would be dozens more Parker novels coming soon, I realized that the time had come to more carefully examine and consider the last few novels in the editorial pipeline. Split Image was a pleasant surprise...

Still the master

The passing of Robert Parker is truly a sad event for the fans of both Spenser and Jesse Stone. "Split Image" shows Parker still at the top of his game. A master of snappy dialogue and careful plotting that is never over written gives his fans an experience he has been providing for more than three decades. Knowing that there are still a few manuscripts left in the pipeline is little consolation. "Split Image" should not...

Good, solid Parker

Split Image: A Jesse Stone Novel Robert B Parker 2010 Good, solid Parker 5* If you've liked the recent Jesse Stone novels such as Night and Day, this one should appeal to you as well, mellow and thoughtful as opposed to exciting and suspenseful. Jesse's personal relations and thoughts (and those of Sunny Randall who also figures prominently in the book) seem equally as important as the actual criminal cases and investigative...
